The Pilot Light is a flamethrower for the Pyro, which is made up of a damaged jet engine, a small fuel tank, and an afterburner for the muzzle.
Any projectile reflected by an airblast will become a full crit instead of a mini-crit, with said airblast sending enemies further, but it takes longer for the airblast to re-fire. It also deals less damage than the standard flamethrower, but its afterburn deals more.

Gameplay[]
The weapon is an annoying counter-attack, since it airblast the enemy so far away. It's mostly useful for reflecting projectiles and throwing people of cliffs tough. It's useful in maps with death traps like koth_sawmill, plr_hightower and others.
